The Admin Burden: The Invisible Bottleneck

Every community has them: the volunteers drowning in WhatsApp notifications, the alumni coordinators spending hours on logistics, the network admins who can't scale.

📱

Unscalable Labor

95.1% WhatsApp penetration in South Africa, but zero admin tools. Every question, every event, every check-in requires manual work.

😓

Leader Burnout

Community leaders quit because the invisible labor becomes unsustainable. When they go, the community collapses.

📊

No Insights

You can't measure engagement, spot at-risk members, or prove ROI. Just noise, without understanding.

This is where Hlomo comes in.

We Believe in a Different Way to Connect

Hlomo was born from a simple observation: the tools meant to connect us often leave us feeling more isolated. We're on a mission to change that.

Tracy & Nadeema: Building Hlomo together

Our Story

It started with real communities—a businesswomen's network overwhelmed by WhatsApp noise, a high-school alumni group that had fallen silent. We saw leaders burning out and members drifting away. We knew technology could be the solution, not the problem.

Hlomo is our answer: a way to use AI not to replace human interaction, but to catalyze it. Every feature we build is tested in real communities, with real people, solving real problems.
